Abstract
SiO2, Al2O3 and ITO have been deposited via ion beam sputtering at room temperature. The SiO2 films, 100 nm thick, were highly insulating with a resistivity of 10 16 Ω·m and breakdown field in excess of 7x108 V/m. The Al2O3 films, 3 to 4 nm in thickness, were also found to be highly insulating with a breakdown field in excess of 3x109 V/m. The ITO films, 50 nm to 100 nm thick, were transparent and conductive as deposited, with a resistivity of 5x10-6 Ω·m. This room temperature deposition technique is proving very promising for the processing of flexible electronics devices.
